Firstly the toaster looks great. But whereas some steel finish toasters are let down by build quality, the Le Toaster 2 feels solid. The operation of the pop up mechanism is smooth with a braking motion that prevents toast catapulting out. The timer is easy to set and has a satisfying click at each increment. The buttons feels solid. And even the crumb drawer which is pushed in to release feels well built. I was particularly attracted by the ability to toast just one piece of bread, or one side of two pieces. And this has proved very popular.

Great looking retro toaster and one of Which's top rated toasters for energy performance, build quality and toasting! Really quick, all sizes of toast slices fit and always toasts with an even colour. Would recommend to anyone.
